Avoid placing the RX17 in locations exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures,
excessively high or low humidity, high dust concentration, or vibration.
Be sure to connect the RX17 to an AC power supply that meets the power supply
specifications listed on the accompanying PA-1 12-volt AC convertor.
If there is any possibility of an electrical storm occurring nearby, remove the power
plug from the wall socket in advance.
Be sure to make all connections properly, as shown in the REAR PANEL/CONNECTIONS
section.
To avoid damaging your speakers and other playback equipment, turn off the power
of all related equipment before making connections.
Do not use excessive force in handling control switches and knobs.
To avoid broken cords and short circuits, be sure to unplug all connectors by
grasping the respective plugs-NOT the cords.
Remove the power plug from the AC wall socket if the unit is not to be used for an
extended period of time.
Remove all plugs and connections if the unit is to be moved, to prevent damage to
the cords and jacks.
Do not use solvents such as benzene or paint thinner to clean the unit. Do not use
insecticides or other pressurized spray products in proximity to the unit. Wipe off the
exterior with a soft cloth.
EFFECTS ON OTHER ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
Since this unit incorporates digital circuitry, simultaneous use of other equipment such as
TVs, radios, etc. in close proximity to the RX17 may cause noise and erroneous operation.
If this occurs, move the RX17 away from the affected units to eliminate the problem. It is
also a good idea to use separate line filters on each piece of equipment.
BACKUP BATTERY
The RX17 has a special lithium backup battery system to preserve data even when the
power is turned off. This battery has a life of approximately 5 years. When the battery voltage
is low, one of two special messages will appear on the RX17’s LCD (see the ERROR
MESSAGES chapter near the end of this manual). This means that you should have the
battery replaced. Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself. Refer this job to your
Yamaha dealer.
NOTE: When the battery is replaced, all Pattern and Song data in the RX17 will be lost. Be
sure to save this data to tape or floppy disk before having the battery replaced.
